The gift of a puppy becomes the occasion for the illustrious humanist Teodoro Gaza (d. 1475) to write Elogio del cane, presented here for the first time in a modern edition. By listing innate canine qualities such as loyalty, intelligence, and a loving and affectionate nature, he illustrates the effect of having a dog at one’s side and conveys the value of that gift to us as we read his words five centuries later.
